The Prime Minister's Pakistani Rape Gangs Problem

Andy Burnham is set to enter 10 Downing Street in a week, after four out of five Labour MPs nominated him to be party leader. He continues to refuse to issue any statement on Operation Hexagon

This morning we stand at 498 paid subscribers towards our target of 2,000. Two more people and we cross our first real threshold of 500. It sounds small. It isn't. Every one of those 498 is a person who decided this work was worth paying for. And what it's paying for is this.

Imagine the Prime Minister Under Oath

Imagine the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom dragged in front of a national inquiry into the cover-up of the Pakistani rape gangs, forced to testify under oath, forced to defend his own record.

You don't have to imagine it. You just need to help me make it happen.

For eight years I've exposed how politicians and police covered up the gang rape of working-class White girls by Pakistani rape gangs. With the people of Oldham behind me, I led the campaign that forced the national inquiry into existence. Now, with your help, we force that inquiry somewhere it does not want to go.

The Cover-Up of the Cover-Up

As Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham fronted a series of Assurance Reviews. One of them was in my hometown, Oldham. It buried the truth rather than exposed it. Don't take my word for it. Ask Maggie Oliver. She has reached the same conclusion.

We forced the national inquiry despite his efforts, not because of them. Burnham once defended the robustness of a review that has since been exposed as a cover-up. Now he is rewriting what he actually did.

Why This Matters Before It's Too Late

Right now, the national inquiry will not investigate Burnham or his conduct. His deceit is set to go unchallenged. We intend to change that before the inquiry reaches Oldham.

Once Burnham is in Downing Street, the pressure to protect him will be immense. The institutions that failed these girls will do everything they can to avoid holding a prime minister to account. Much of the press will look away, as it always has. So it falls to us to carry the truth where they won't.

What This Community Becomes

This is why I'm turning this readership into something I can no longer run on my own. Red Wall and the Rabble needs to grow into a proper independent investigative outlet, with:

• A professional website to reach a far larger audience
• Video production to make this work accessible to millions
• Research support so no lead goes cold
• In-person training events for communities fighting the same battle we fought in Oldham
• Resources to gather evidence and report from towns the press has abandoned

Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers. That's the scale of what's coming. But today, we only need two.

Eight Years Later

We are not where we are by accident. Every column inch, every FOI, every hearing forced into existence, came from years of refusing to stop. From paying a price that most would not.

We will not get where we need to be if we leave the job to the people who built the cover-up in the first place. Stand with me.

This work is free because the truth has to circulate. Anyone can read it, share it, act on it, without paying a penny. But truth without numbers is easy to crush. Governments do not fear facts. Facts get filed, minimised, managed. What governments fear is scale.

Burnham and the Labour Party do not fear one campaigner. They fear thousands of readers, sharing the same work, backing the same investigation, because numbers mean witnesses, numbers mean pressure, numbers mean consequences they cannot manage away.

Every subscriber is a number they cannot erase. Every reader widens a circle they cannot control. A handful of supporters can be dismissed as noise. Thousands cannot. This is how the campaign survives. This is how we see it through to the end. This is how voices like ours stop being managed and start being feared.

Before Burnham reaches Number 10, Red Wall and the Rabble needs 2,000 more paid subscribers. That's the scale of what's coming. But today, we only need two.

Succeed, and politicians go to prison. It is that simple. And it starts with the next two people who click that link.

I’m Raja Miah. For almost eight years, I have led a small team that exposed how politicians protected the rape gangs. Before that, I spent over a decade trying to stop violent extremists exploiting abandoned communities.

My work is free because the truth must circulate. But truth without numbers is easy to crush. The government does not fear facts. It fears scale. Burnam and the Establishment fear thousands reading, sharing, and backing the same work because numbers mean witnesses, pressure, and consequences. That’s why this matters.
